Prepare. Monitor. Act. The Safety App helps you to do all three. Quickly set your current status – i.e. “at work” or “on my way” -- and indicate whether you are safe or not safe (e.g., require assistance). Assess local weather conditions and alerts. View your safety group for status updates. Send texts to specific group members or to the entire group with ease. See group member’s locale as a street address. In a matter of minutes, you can have peace of mind that everyone in your group is accounted for, safe, and where they should be.
